ZLAEV2(3) LAPACK routine of NEC Numeric Library Collection ZLAEV2(3) NAME ZLAEV2 SYNOPSIS SUBROUTINE ZLAEV2 (A, B, C, RT1, RT2, CS1, SN1) PURPOSE ZLAEV2 computes the eigendecomposition of a 2-by-2 Hermitian matrix [ A B ] [ CONJG(B) C ]. On return, RT1 is the eigenvalue of larger absolute value, RT2 is the eigenvalue of smaller absolute value, and (CS1,SN1) is the unit right eigenvector for RT1, giving the decomposition [ CS1 CONJG(SN1) ] [ A B ] [ CS1 -CONJG(SN1) ] = [ RT1 0 ] [-SN1 CS1 ] [ CONJG(B) C ] [ SN1 CS1 ] [ 0 RT2 ]. ARGUMENTS A (input) A is COMPLEX*16 The (1,1) element of the 2-by-2 matrix. B (input) B is COMPLEX*16 The (1,2) element and the conjugate of the (2,1) element of the 2-by-2 matrix. C (input) C is COMPLEX*16 The (2,2) element of the 2-by-2 matrix. RT1 (output) RT1 is DOUBLE PRECISION The eigenvalue of larger absolute value. RT2 (output) RT2 is DOUBLE PRECISION The eigenvalue of smaller absolute value. CS1 (output) CS1 is DOUBLE PRECISION SN1 (output) SN1 is COMPLEX*16 The vector (CS1, SN1) is a unit right eigenvector for RT1. FURTHER DETAILS RT1 is accurate to a few ulps barring over/underflow. RT2 may be inaccurate if there is massive cancellation in the determinant A*C-B*B; higher precision or correctly rounded or correctly truncated arithmetic would be needed to compute RT2 accurately in all cases. CS1 and SN1 are accurate to a few ulps barring over/underflow. Overflow is possible only if RT1 is within a factor of 5 of overflow. Underflow is harmless if the input data is 0 or exceeds underflow_threshold / macheps. LAPACK routine 31 October 2017 ZLAEV2(3)
